  2. Awesome job to the those guys who chanced it for the tuna off there . First and only tuna on that side in what 60 odd years turned out to be 100inch fish … what else lurks beneath

    Good to see plenty porgies mate
  8. Yeah is a rarity to look like that out there glad you got out. Mind you better for sharking with a blow. I’m not sure how long the ban is in got but I dread to think what not having it does to the population every spawning season nets everywhere… I know that’s rabbit hole of ‘each person got to make a living’ but purely from a conservation perspective. if they can keep it an annual spawning season ban… well it just makes perfect sense.
  9. Too good a Saturday forecast to miss saw me towing to Cornwall Friday night. arrival around 1ish launching at daylight meant couple hours sort rods unstrap pack away and shut eye for not very long but it all helps. first stop was bait and I was picking up some jumbo mackerel only close in which was great after about 8/9 I headed out. i stopped off on the way out around the reefs what difference the not netting of pollack has made. Well saying that Iv seen more fish in the past but compared to last year there were a few good fish back ! Pushed out to the 20mile band it was glass on the way out which was lovely then I spent an hour or so over the slack trying for ling on this wreck. I know they’re on there I just couldn’t get them ..another time ! dumped the chum over and waited quite a while with no wind i was moving with the tide but not a great deal. then I had one probably of 40lb. Hour or so later I had a better one round more like 75lb the boat going for the chum bag and the proper. i had this fish round the bait and I could wind up any more so I just hand hooked her and she wernt happy gave me a searing run. Great fun the Yank The run chum curious blue I ended up with another one so 3 in total Had to pull the hook in again by hand to get that last one tight , rather that than deep hook. food as follows Bangers on boat took some skin damage @JonC Dinner made up for it then I crawled into the tent 💤 Josh

  15. Thanks that’s it you gotta be in it for a chance . The last trip I lined up for there few week back I got in the car and bailed so it was a little breakthru session ha
  16. Crazy how different it can be , That’s horrible when you keep waiting for the fog mist to burn and it just doesn’t. think we wer all out same day I put on here in October . When the visibility was down to about 5meters unbelievable. thats odd I didn’t hear that pan pan and I was right on selsey bill … unless I wasn’t paying a attention I did a radio check yesterday also.
  17. So I arrived home from Turkey last night with an incredible forecast Sunday questioning do I ? don’t I ?… I should stay at home prepare for the week ahead ect… so anyway 1am came and I was on the road by 25past heading for itchneor slip lauched by 3.55 and heading through the harbour I was gunning for the slack at the Outer Owers to try for some bass and I was up against it time wise with a 15mile run from the harbour. So I stopped once and was lucky enough to pick up a small scad and one mackerel great some live baits. Then was disciplined enough not to stop again untill arriving at the mark. I actually got there before the slack had started so time wise I got more than I needed. fish wise not so good .. live bait down and feeding the float back on one rod and Dexter wedge off the bottom with another. no takes first drift second drift the floats gone down great! Wer on ! nope Wer off ! so I dropped the float back without checking the bait and bang I just picked the other rod up and the float was down again! Okay yes fish is ON…. well all went light float came up the bass even had the audacity to follow the the mackerel to the boat.assuming it was the same fish.. i forgot to say when I arrived and set up I put the tiny scad on which would of been perfect and as I threw it over it came off so that’s why the mackerel went on… heinsight I recon I should of sized my hook up a bit.. anyway back round and seeing a few more individual surface splashes now casting at them rubbers and dexters but no joy. by this point the mackerel was stiff so I flapped it set it out then & float went down again and I was properly on … however it wasn’t a bass it was a conger of about 8lb . So I was heart pounding for the net untill I saw it. after than I started following the birds and there were fish with them but no joy for me. A lot of baitfish under boat in areas. Not sure what it was I couldn’t pick them up maybe very mini sandeels. with a short day planned I shot into a tope mark that Iv had some incredible action in the past that’s pretty reliable and that was very quiet too. A small black bream and a few dogs . Amazing forecast saw some monster mullet in the harbour biggest Iv ever seen. So just sunsets & sounders today not even a poorly cooked sausage
